Boot self opening

Sat at some traffic lights earlier and the boot mechanism just started opening and closing...happend about 20 times then stopped when i pulled off, DIS showed boot open, next light it did it again.....and again and again then stopped doing it afer id closed the boot....then almost home after another 10 miles, then did it again!!

right just stripped it all down, took apart the pressure pads which are powered by a microswitch inside..... cleaned inside where there was no corrosion, refitted and upon connecting the left hand side, the mechanism moved....

neither pad would open the boot etc o i ran a piece of wire across bth connectors - in summary i found that by unplugging one the other worked, both plugged in neither worked so one must have been stuck (microswitch)

so im gonna replace both when i can get to the stealers next, anyone bought these yet? im gonna replace both as the one that does work still has moisture in
